1 JEFF THOMAS 5 Elm Street Ottawa, Ontario K1R 6M9 TEL 613.236 Jeff Thomas CV 2019 JEFF THOMAS 5 Elm Street Ottawa, Ontario K1R 6M9 TEL 613.236.5673 [email protected] Websites jeff-thomas.ca, anecessaryfiction.com Represented by Stephen Bulger Gallery I am an urban Iroquois, born in the city of Buffalo, New York in 1956. My parents and grandparents were born at the Six Nations reserve, near Brantford, Ontario and left the reserve to find work in the city. You won’t find a definition for the ‘urban Iroquois’ in any dictionary or anthropological publication -- it is this absence that informs my work as a photo-based artist, researcher, independent curator, cultural analyst and public speaker. My study of Indian-ness seeks to create an image bank of my urban Iroquois experience, as well as re-contextualize historical images of First Nations people for a contemporary audience. Ultimately, I want to dismantle long entrenched stereotypes and inappropriate caricatures of Indigenous people.
